 *
 * Purpose:	Provides I/O facilities for multi-dimensional arrays of bytes
 *		stored with various layout policies.  If the caller is
 *		interested in arrays of elements >1 byte then add an extra
 *		dimension.  For example, a 10x20 array of int would
 *		translate to a 10x20x4 array of bytes at this level.
